The aim was to ignite passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education among students in the district.
The event was attended by Sabah Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun, who also witnessed the handing over of Petronas 50th anniversary Torch, symbolising the passing of knowledge and innovation across generations.
The torch is part of the "Journey of the Twin Torches" tour, representing inspiration, and empowerment. It will travel across Malaysia, honouring significant places and events in Petronas' legacy.
